Get to know a little bit about Annette (Annie)...
Occupation: Vascular Sonographer – vascular ultrasound
Star Sign:Virgo
What was your motivation for signing up to TrekWest? I love the philosophy of STEPS charity and the supporting they give to young adults with a disability to learn live independently. My lifelong dream is to be involved in increasing the number of specialised centres for supported and independent living for people with disability- particularly young people. Having worked in the medical field in private and public health for over 30 year, I believe that some centres are not suited to supporting young adults and that specialised centres need to be provided to maintain the quality of life for people with special needs. It was the reason I decided to complete my Masters degree in Health administration.
What are you most looking forward to on the trip? Challenge and spending time with like-minded motivated women.
What is the one non-negotiable item you are packing in your luggage? Good walking boots and socks!
What training are you going to do in preparation for TrekWest? I have always been fit but have had some time off with a shoulder injury so back to the gym for me! Maybe a bit of extra National Park walking as well in my good boots!
Enjoy Annie!
